Surface Tension in Fluid Dynamics Formulas

Surface Tension is the property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force, due to the cohesive nature of its molecules. And is denoted by σ_s. Surface Tension is usually measured using the Newton per Meter for Surface Tension. Note that the value of Surface Tension is always negative.
